Hello,
I am facing the similar issue as Jonty's. Our MySQL db is running on a Linux server. At the moment, am running the whole PowerBI suite on my laptop. I managed to connect to the live data via Putty. Data refresh only works if Putty is active. If Putty is inactive, the connection to the live data fails.

Thanks.
